-113- New apprentice
More than half an hour later, Kyoko sat on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly at Hongyu, who looked innocent on the side, and then at the Snow Maiden, who had just switched back from the deity form, and after a period of broken and reorganized worldview, she finally reluctantly accepted the fact that these two people were monsters.
"Sister, do you have any ideas?" Nishino asked.
"Thoughts?" Kyoko tilted her head and said.
"If you can't accept that you have youkai in your house and want them to move out...... I can understand that, too. "Nishino Renyin.
"This one...... It doesn't matter, although Yuchan has changed from neko to a girl, but there is just one more child in the family, and it won't have a big impact. Kyoko smiled softly, quite in the style of Yamato Nadeshiko, "I believe that Maki and Tamama-chan, since there was no contradiction between everyone living together before, then what if we knew that they were youkai, they wouldn't eat me." ”
When she said this, she was indeed very relaxed - she thought that something irreparable had happened between her brother and the Snow Maiden, and her head was almost dizzy, although this kind of thing sounded quite surprising to youkai, but compared to the horror that she made up in her brain...... That's a blessing!
After dinner, leaving Hongyu to work as a guard at home, the three of them soon joined up with Asuka Adachi, and the four of them went to the Nishino Restaurant in the southern district.
After not coming for more than half a month, the old man and the old lady were also quite enthusiastic after seeing Makino Maki, and greeted them with great concern when they met, while Nishino Renyin went into the back kitchen and began to tinker with his pots and pans, picked up a cooking knife and turned it in his hand - he found that swordsmanship and knife work have something in common, and after mastering the sword, he was much more comfortable playing with kitchen knives, like acrobatics.
Maybe in the future, he can summarize a set of swordsmanship schools that are exclusive to him based on his cooking experience, the kind that can cut vegetables and kill demons.
He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a small figure walking into the store, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhongzhong? ”
The little figure who was probing his brain at the door was Inoue Nakachu, probably because the store hadn't opened yet, so he was a little unsure whether he should come in, and after hearing Nishino's voice, he finally mustered up the courage to walk into the store, and first politely said, "Nishino Nissan, good afternoon." Then he nodded to the rest of the store.
"You're Naka-nak." Makino Maki was in charge of welcoming guests at the door, the closest to Nakachu, and when she heard this, she immediately walked over and looked at this little Shota with a curious face-Nishino Renyin had already mentioned to her about the ghost cut, and she was quite concerned about this little monster.
Well, the appearance is delicate and polite, this child's first impression makes people feel very comfortable, and he deserves to be a famous sword ghost! It's a pity that I don't have a good vision, and I recognize such a guy as the master......
"Ah, hello, sister, are you ......?" Zhongzhong was surprised.
"This is Maki Makino, my classmate, and our ...... Companion. Nishino Renyin walked over and said, and immediately turned his head to look at the old man, "Grandpa, let's go out to talk, and come back in a while, and you can open your business first." ”
"Go ahead." The old man waved his hand ruthlessly.
Seeing that the old man had no opinion, Nishino Lianyin took Nakachu out of the store, and by the way, he also dragged Makino with him. And Anda Asuka and Kyoko were a little confused, but they didn't ask anything, one of them has strong self-control, and others don't take the initiative to ask if they don't say it, and the other is simply not curious.
But the old lady is a little worried, her grandson has been working with the two young and beautiful girls in the store all day without any sparks, but in the past two days, he suddenly brought a handsome little boy back, and claimed that he and this little Zhengtai are close friends who ignore the age gap, and they look like they have a very good relationship...... Why do you always feel a little weird?
Out of the store, go straight along the street, Nishino Renyin introduced the true identity of Makino to Nakaka, of course, he was also quite careful in the process of introduction, and specially found a corner on the street where there were no people, and when he spoke, he lowered his voice, just like what underground tissue joint.
But he didn't feel like he was overly cautious - although the system didn't react, the devil knows if there were any members of the Special Operations Department among the pedestrians on the street, and if they were targeted by that kind of government department, the level of trouble would not be comparable to that of the Mirage monster gangster.
After the two of them got to know each other, Nishino Renyin asked, "Nakachu, did you come to me for something?" ”
"I want to see how you're doing, master, and ......," Nakaka said with a little cowardice, and held back for a long time in Nishino Renyin's puzzled gaze before he said embarrassedly, "I hope to work in the master's shop." ”
Nishino had invited him to work in the store before, and although the working hours were only three hours from 7 to 10 o'clock in the evening, he managed to manage a dinner and a supper, and the money earned in three hours was almost 3,000 yen, which was more than the money that this little guy made by picking up garbage all day. However, at that time, Nakachu thought that he was about to die at the hands of Ibaraki Boy, and he didn't want to cause trouble to people, so he refused this kindness.
As a result, who knew that he survived unharmed, so he could only come back with a depressed face and ask for help - his face was actually quite thin, if it weren't for Nishino Renyin being his master, he would definitely not be able to pull his face down and come back and ask again.
Then, he added with a red face and embarrassment: "I can do without salary, just take care of the food." ”
"How can you not have a salary?" Nishino Renyin touched his head, and his smile was warm like the sunshine in March, "Don't worry, I'm your master, how can I do such a thing as treating my own people badly." ”
Hearing this, Makino Maki silently glanced at him next to him - this scumbag has started to deceive people again! You won't treat your own people badly, if Hongyu is here, can you still say such things with a clear conscience? But she thought about it in her heart and didn't say it, after all, it was too faceless to dismantle the stage at this time, and it was better to wait until she got home to complain or something.
After a walk outside, when I returned to the store, the Nishino Restaurant was already full, the business was quite good, and it had the style of a top restaurant, and Nishino Renyin walked straight into the back kitchen with Naka, and the old man was surprised: "What's wrong?" Why do you look serious? This kid ...... Is there something wrong? ”
Nishino Renyin brought Nakaka to the store for dinner yesterday afternoon, but the old man was busy at that time, and he didn't have much impression of being in the little guy.
"Grandpa, I think this kid ...... Is it better than me to inherit your mantle and make him your apprentice? Nishino asked.
"When my apprentice?" The old man was stunned for a moment.
"Yes." Nishino Renyin nodded, his words were arrived at after careful consideration, not a whim.
His own cooking skills have a systematic bonus, the basic skill bonus is very comprehensive, belongs to the type of balanced development, can do very well in every field, but will not be particularly specialized in any field, and the old man's title when he was young was "Phantom Knife Maker", the biggest feature is fast knife skills, what he needs is a more "fast" apprentice.
And the middle school is a ghost cut, and his swordsmanship skills are as high as lv4, and he can overturn a group of adult college students with a bamboo sword, and the sword is even faster and dazzling, and this talent happens to be the most needed trait for the apprentice of the old man.
Besides, he already has a rather cheating nickname called "Pleasure Food Magician", so "Phantom Swordsman", which is also a nickname from the second to the explosion, wouldn't it be good for Zhongzhong to inherit it.
